What Is Included in Moose Track Adventures' Boundary Waters Canoe Outfitting?
Updated
Moose Track Adventures offers two outfitting formats for Boundary Waters (BWCA) and Quetico Park trips: all-inclusive Kevlar canoe outfitting and partial outfitting with Kevlar canoe and food packages. The all-inclusive option covers high-quality Kevlar canoes, paddles, life jackets, tents, food, and essential gear, plus permit handling and pick-up coordination. Partial outfitting is the choice if you already own some equipment and only need the canoe, food, or both.
What the all-inclusive package covers
Based on the outfitter's own description, the comprehensive package is designed so you don't need to source gear yourself. It includes:
- Kevlar canoes — lightweight boats suited to portaging between BWCA lakes
- Paddles
- Life jackets
- Tents
- Food
- All essential gear for the trip
The stated goal is a "seamless" trip where everything needed is provided. The outfitter also says it manages "everything from permits to pick-up," which means permit acquisition and transportation logistics can be part of the arrangement rather than something you handle separately.
What partial outfitting covers
If you don't need the full package, Moose Track Adventures lists two partial options:
| Option | What you get |
|---|---|
| Partial outfitting | Kevlar canoe (and gear components, depending on arrangement) |
| Kevlar canoe & food packages | Canoe plus food |
Partial outfitting makes sense if you already own camping gear, tents, or paddling equipment and want to avoid paying for duplicates. The canoe-and-food package suits groups who have their own gear but would rather not plan and pack meals.
Route planning and experience
The outfitter states it brings over 30 years of experience as a Boundary Waters outfitting service and will help route your BWCA or Quetico Park wilderness adventure. That means route selection — which lakes and entry points fit your trip length and skill level — can be part of the service rather than something you research alone.
Who each option fits
- Choose all-inclusive if you're new to BWCA trips, flying in, or don't want to buy or transport gear.
- Choose partial outfitting if you own most equipment and only need a Kevlar canoe.
- Choose the canoe-and-food package if you have gear but want meals handled.
